Alternative cooking in shtf situation

Shit..... got stuff in a can, got stuff in the shiny mylar bags, got no way to cook it!Well that sucks! Well here are some ideas you should be looking into now!

Solar Cooker

Yea ok I have watched dozes of video on how to's to make these. Folks seem to have a hard time getting them to heat up enough for any major cooking. But great for small easy stuff. and save on fire wood and charcoal. I am not going to pretend I am some kind of expert of this stuff. But I am great at trolling the web for info. I found the page Click Here . It is every kind of solar cooker you could think of and how to make them! I kind of like the umbrella looking one great for people in the city, and you could rig something up to hang it out the window.

Dutch Oven

this one is kind of like the one I have. and I use it all the time. My big part has a handle. I got it for $30 online. and cost $12.00 to ship it. well worth taking the time out to hunt for a good one at a good price.

This is basically a cast iron pot that can be put on or over a fire...like the wild west cowboys did. You can find them in the Good Will all the time.....and old ones are better! And cheap. But I have found a few cheap ones at amazon. I would have one of these on hand. Kind of a must.

Sterno's

Great for your to go bag. and I even keep a few in the car for my winter break down kit for heat. you can find them 2 for $1.00 in alot of place worth having a few. I use them at partys so I get them buy the case in the summer.

Hey Urbanprepperchick don't forget the good old fashioned hobo stove, or propane camp stove for a little money. Hobo stove for when the propane runs out or charcoal is plentiful. Make sure for apartment cooking people know to open their windows or they will asphixiate, and have a bucket of water nearby in case of fire.
